Eh. It is okay. There's a better, and less touristy, place in Slinger. You'll drive right past it on your way to Kelley's. Kelley also makes a killer pie. And cheese curds. And ice cream. Really everything. But if you need cheese and/or sausage. Helds in Slinger is the place to go.

^ Agreed, making it yourself will always be better than what you buy so long as you use good ingredients.

I just made a strawberry ice cream to die for. Macerated the berries for nearly a day and used a custard base with almost all cream with only some milk...

Mmmm.. Now I can't wait to get fresh strawberries from a local farm and try it that way.

Just last week I noticed they had Haagen-Dazs peanut butter & chocolate ice cream at CVS. I don't know if it's a new flavor or if the store just started carrying it, but I had never seen it before.

I've bought three pints since then. That's my favorite ice cream flavor of all time.

I have to nip this problem in the bud.

I really love Macadamia Nut. But why so hard to find in the U.S.?

This one? It's available in Supermarket

I'm pretty sure they were referring to macadamia nut ice cream. And yes, I can imagine a flavor like that would be difficult to find.

Haagen Dazs (I give up trying to copy/paste the ä!) is manufactured by Nestle/Dreyers in the US and Canada. Outside these countries, it's manufactured by General Mills.

Nestle has a license until the year 2100 to produce it in the US and Canada. See this interesting (to me!) WSJ article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1009414941983387480. If you get a paywall, try googling the headline, "Nestle Acquires Half of Haagen-Dazs Unit That It Doesn't Own From General Mills"

I thinks it's a new flavor. I like it too, but I prefer Rocky Road more. It's harder to find Rocky Road at the stores I shop at.

you guys are killing me

How? Don't they sell HD where you are? Makes me wonder if anyone has done a HD mileage run?

they sell it and its wonderful....Up in Jackson they have a retail store....mmmm so good.


but I just don't allow myself that kind of carb intake very often :(

You! You are responsible for a tub of Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato in my freezer.

My house was freezing last night so I didn't have any but will give it a go tonight. And it is YOUR fault.

(it was also on sale at the store, woo hoo!)

That sounds awesome!

I also like the HD Pineapple / Coconut flavor.

On the rare occasion I want real ice cream, I'm lucky to have the Berkey Creamery a few hours away. It's a nice drive. :D
